It's not normal if it's upsetting to one or both of you.
Consider counseling. You may need help negotiating, resolving conflict, or you may have medical issues that need to be addressed.
Sometimes lack of sex is not about sex, but about other things going on in the relationship or in one partner's physical well being that hinder sex. Finding the problem and dealing with it can unblock sexual responsiveness.
Don't make it conditional on your partner going. If he/she is not comfortable or refuses, go yourself. A good therapist can still help you to do the detective work and deal with what's going on in a healthy way.

It depends on what you mean by "hardly have sex." Everybody's idea of the right amount of sex is different. If it is once a week, that is average. If it is once a month, you are married and have a couple of children. If it has been several months to a year and your man has no interest, odds are that he is getting it somewhere else.
These are not exact, but based on the average and past experience.

It really depends on the factors: kids, marriage, how long the couple has been together, etc. Most couples will experience a lull in there sexual relationship at some point it usually doesn't last long unless there are children involved and then it just becomes hard to find the time for sex.

The most important thing to remember about sex in a relationship is quality, not quantity. Anyone can have sex every night of the week but not everyone can have their partners waiting for the next time. If your sex life has no quality or quantity then it is not normal and you should consult a professional.

Normal is a strange word.
If they have a low libido and do not require much physical intimacy, then it's OK for them.
If, however, you have these urges and your partner doesn't, then there is a problem.
My opinion, no. The average American woman has sex every three days, about 120 times a year.

Of course it may be a problem with the woman and or man not properly producing the right hormones....the chemical imablance comes from the brain, and if you are lacking the drive and determination to suceed thats possibly the answer. Talk to your doctor to get the proper diagnosis and follow his direction, don't go taking Birthcontroll women if someone tells you to.

Marriage tends to settle into a pattern, and teh physical act often becomes less important with age. One can speak of averages, like three times per week or something, but "normal" should be determined on a case-by-case basis.

We always say that sex shouldn't be an essential part in a relationship. HOW WRONG CAN ONE BE????? Although, there are other forms of intimacy. As long as both individuals are content and happy with the relationship - that's all that matters.

Yes it is very normal. I have done that in a few relationships. As long as you are both willing when ever one of you wants too it doesn't hurt to not do anything for long periods of time.
